Wade came to my office and inquired as to whether or not the church of which he is pastor, located at the intersection of third and D Street, could obtain sewer service. Dtlrjng the course of our conversation relating to this matter, Hr. Hade indicated that the sewer lateral from the church would have to drain bathrooms that would be located in the basement. There is at present a six-inch seHer main beginning at the inter- section of D and Second Street, westward along D Street for a distance of approximately 175 feet. This sel,.rer main is approxinJate1y three feet in depth and is now serving six houses, fu'1d CaD~ot be extended any further towards third Street because of the change in grade of this street beyond the end of the existing sewer li..Yle.
